FOREWORD 

NE hundred years ago Baltimore — then a robust 
miniature of the great City of today — was at- 
tacked by a powerful British expeditionary force. 
The unequal struggle between America and Great 
Britain, generally referred to as the War of 1812, had raged 
for two years. 

The flower of the British Army and Navy attempted to take 
the town. At North Point their land forces were repulsed after 
a bloody encounter, and their commander, General Sir Robert 
Ross, was killed. Untrained soldiery under gallant leaders 
held in check the invaders, who were seasoned veterans to the 
man. At the very gates of the City the British came upon a 
line of trenches they dared not assail. 

Fort McHenry was bombarded by the naval forces for 
twenty-five hours. When the smoke of battle cleared "our flag 
was still there." Realizing the hopelessness of capturing Bal- 
timore, the British weighed anchor and withdrew, taking away 
scores of wounded and a lesson never to be forgotten. 

Detained aboard the flag-of-truce ship "Minden," Francis 
Scott Key, a young patriot, witnessed the conflict. Inspired by 
the thrilling sight, he wrote the words of our National Anthem, 
"The Star-Spangled Banner." 

The final gun of the attack on Baltimore marked the close 
of the last important engagement of the War of 1812. Jack- 
son and his brave followers defeated the British at New Orleans 
months later, unmindful that peace had been proclaimed days 
before. 

American independence, so proudly heralded in 1 776, be- 
came an actuality with the signing of the Treaty of Ghent. 

A century of progress has elapsed. Once more Baltimore is 
the stage of a national drama. The National Star-Spangled 
Banner Centennial from September 6 to 1 3, 1 9 I 4, is to com- 
memorate the birth of our National Anthem; the successful de- 
fense of Baltimore at North Point and Fort McHenry; the 
achievement of real National Independence, and a century of 
progress. 

That, also, is the purpose of this book.

BALTIMORE AND MARYLAND WERE TO THE 
FRONT IN THE WAR OF 1812. 

ILLIAM PINKNEY, a Baltimorean, wrote 
the declaration of war, which consisted of the 
single and explicit statement: "That war be, and 
the same is hereby declared to exist between the 
United States and Great Britain." Pinkney was sent in 1806 
to England to negotiate a treaty that should settle all disputes 
between the two governments. From 1 808 the political rela- 
tions between America and Britain foreboded inevitable hostili- 
ties at no distant day. Incensed by the seizure of our ships 
upon the high seas, the impressment of thousands of American 
sailors and other outrages, Pinkney, in 1811, demanded his 
recall. Upon his return to America he was made Attorney- 
General. On June 18, 1812, after debating for fifteen days. 
Congress passed the War Act. President Madison signed it 
the same day. The Union was then made up of eighteen 
States — the thirteen original, Delaware, Pennsylvania, New 
Jersey, Georgia, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maryland, South 
Carolina, New Hampshire, Virginia, New York, North Caro- 
lina and Rhode Island, with Vermont, Kentucky, Tennessee, 
Ohio and Louisiana. 

Baltimore merchants loaned the Government $3,000,000, 
and this, later assumed by the city, became the foundation of 
Baltimore's first municipal debt. When war was declared the 
general Government was practically bankrupt, with liabilities 
amounting to $45,154,000. Congress authorized a war loan 
of $1 1,000,000. Baltimore merchants were the first to sub- 
scribe. Finding none of this available for her own defense, 
the city raised another $600,000. 

The first gun of the war was fired by a Maryland man, when 
Commodore John Rodgers, a native of Havre de Grace, and

later a resident of Baltimore, aboard his flagship, "President," 
attacked the British frigate "Belvidera," June 23, 1812. 
Commodore Rodgers was in command of the North Atlantic 
Squadron. Three days after war was declared he received 
the news while his ship was lying at New "^'ork. Within an 
hour he had weighed anchor and put to sea. Coming up with the 
"Belvidera" off Nantucket Shoals, Commodore Rodgers with 
his own hand pointed and fired the first shot of the war, hulling 
the enemy. A gun burst on the "President," injuring her 
commander. In the confusion that followed the British vessel 
escaped. 

A Baltimore man, Captain David Porter, captured the first 
British national vessel, the "Alert," whose colors were struck 
August 1 3, after an eight-minute engagement with the "Essex." 
From the masthead of the "Essex" fluttered a flag bearing 
conspicuously the words, "Free Trade and Sailor/ Rights. ' 
Captain Porter left New York a few days after Commodore 
Rodgers. Soon after leaving Sandy Hook he captured several 
English merchant vessels, making trophy bonfires out of most 
of them. One night, a little later, he chased a fleet of British 
transports convoyed by a frigate and bomb vessel. Without 
attracting the attention of the rest of the fleet, the "Essex" 
captured one of the transports, with one hundred and fifty men. 
Later in the war Commodore Porter made one of the most 
remarkable cruises on record. 

Manned by a Chesapeake crew, the "Constitution," better 
known as "Old Ironsides," captured the first and thiid British 
frigates taken in the war. On July 12, the "Constitution," with 
a new crew, sailed from Annapolis, Maryland. In thirty min- 
utes, August 19, she destroyed the famous ' Guerriere," taken 
from Napoleon by Lord Nelson at the Battle of the Nile, in 
I 798. After a fierce fight, December 29, the same crew took 
the frigate "Java," with the outgoing Governor of Bombay and 
all his staff.

Commodore Stephen Decatur, Jr., a native of Berlin, Mary- 
land, in command of the "United States," captured the second 
British frigate, the "Macedonian," October 25, after a con- 
flict that lasted two hours. Decatur's subsequent career added 
luster to his renown as the conqueror of the "Macedonian." 

From Maryland, and chiefly from Baltimore, more officers, 
ships and seamen went out than from any other State. Of the 
two hundred and forty officers of the American Navy, Mary- 
land furnished forty-six. This was more than twice the 
number given by any one State, except Virginia, which sup- 
plied forty-two officers. 

Sixty-one privateers were sent out from Baltimore, while the 
number from Maryland totaled more than one hundred. New 
York equipped fifty-five, Salem forty, Boston thirty-two, 
Philadelphia fourteen, and nine other ports combined about 
thirty-eight. "Baltimore Clippers," world famous for their 
speed, manned by daring crews, struck blow after blow at the 
commerce of Great Britain. This caused the English press to 
refer to this city as "a nest of pirates." 

Baltimore privateers captured five hundred and twenty-five 
vessels, or nearly one-third of all the prizes taken in the war. 
Aboard Government vessels and privateers, Baltimore men 
captured five hundred and seventy-five British ships. The 
activities of Baltimore privateers caused a loss of $16,000,000 
to the British. 

The most famous privateersman was Captain Thomas Boyle, 
of Baltimore. First on the "Comet," and later on the 
"Chasseur," known as the "Pride of Baltimore," he made a 
number of brilliant captures and had hair-breadth escapes. 
With the "Comet" he seized twenty-nine vessels. The 
"Chasseur" is said to have lowered the colors of fifty-one British 
ships. 

Commodore Joshua Barney, commanding the "Rossie," 
accompanied by six other privateers, sailed from Baltimore in

July, 1812. After forty-five days his captures totaled fifteen 
vessels, valued at $ 1 ,289,000. When he returned to Baltimore 
in November this had been increased to $1,500,000, repre- 
senting 3,689 tons of shipping. He took two hundred and 
seventeen prisoners. Another rich capture was that of eight 
vessels made by the "Rolla," Captain Dooley. The vessels 
and cargoes were valued at $2,000,000. To the "Dash," of 
Baltimore, belongs the credit for the first capture made by a 
privateer. She took the British schooner "Whiting," with 
dispatches from Great Britain to the United States, in Hamp- 
ton Roads July 10, 1812. The fame of Baltimore ships was 
spread by the exploits of Captains Coggeshall, Miller, Moon, 
Murphy, Stafford and others. 

The first news of peace was brought by a Baltimorean, 
Christopher Hughes, Jr., who was Secretary to the Commission 
at Ghent. As soon as the treaty was signed, December 24, 
1814, he sailed direct for the Chesapeake and landed at An- 
napolis. He was the first to bring the good news to Wash- 
ington, arriving there before the official messengers.

STORY OF THE NATIONAL ANTHEM, FORT 
McHENRY AND NORTH POINT. 

By Frank A. O'Connell. 

l^^HURCH BELLS were calling in Baltimore 
Town Sunday, September M , 1 8 ! 4, when 
through the streets went the cry, "The enemy is 
at our door!" On the Court House green three 
cannon boomed. With martial tread and beatmg drums pa- 
triots spread the alarm. From the houses came men of all 
classes, determined to protect their kin and their homes. 

At the mouth of the Patapsco, off North Point, twelve 
miles from the city, fifty ships flying the British colors were 
silhouetted against the eastern skies. Nine thousand strong, 
the invaders, representing the flower of the English Army and 
Navy, gazed towards the city they had termed "a nest of 
pirates." 

Lining the decks of this fleet were part of Wellington's "In- 
vincibles," and veterans of Nelson's victories, the men who had 
humbled the great Napoleon. Fresh from the Battle of 
Bladensburg, encouraged by the capture and burning of Wash- 
ington, emboldened by their raids along the Chesapeake, they 
impatiently awaited the loosening of the leash. 

Pick and shovel made the dirt fly along fortifications around 
the town. To the east, in a line more than a mile in length, 
men, women and children toiled. Hampstead Hill (Patterson 
Park) was selected as headquarters by the commander-in-chief. 
General Samuel Smith, a Revolutionary hero. Behind these 
bulwarks he placed ten thousand troops, largely Baltimore 
militia, and one hundred cannon were mounted. 

On the north side of the harbor, opposite Fort McHenry, 
Commodore Rodgers planted batteries at the Lazaretto. One

thousand volunteers and regulars garrisoned Fort McHenry. 
Major George Armistead, in command, knew that the magazine 
was not bomb-proof, but those under him were ignorant of the 
fact. To the rear of the fort along the shores of the Patapsco 
were two redoubts — a six-gun battery under Sailing Master 
Webster, and Fort Covington under Lieutenant Newcomb. 

Anticipating the landing of the enemy. General Smith sent 
General Strieker with 1 700 men to harass the British advance 
up Patapsco Neck. Late Sunday afternoon this body marched 
out the Philadelphia Road to Long-Log Lane (now North 
Point Road), leaving behind a cloud of dust. At eight o'clock 
that evening they paused. The defenders chose the ground 
well, with the right resting on Bear Creek and the left near 
Bread and Cheese Creek; then they lay on the ground to await 
the coming of dawn and the British. 

General Strieker spent the night in the old Methodist Meet- 
ing House, still standing on the North Pomt Road, near Bread 
and Cheese Creek. His force was composed of the Fifth, 
Sixth, Twenty-seventh, Thirty-ninth and Fifty-first Regiments. 
These were made up of separate companies, some in uniform 
and others in their citizen's clothes. In the haste and con- 
fusion of the day many still wore their silk hats. Incorporated 
in these regiments was one company each from York, Han- 
over and Marietta, Pennsylvania, and one from Hagerstown, 
Maryland. All the rest were from Baltimore. 

While the opposing forces slept that night from a cloudless 
sky the full moon shone brightly, its beams illuminating a huge 
flag flying over Fort McHenry. Fifteen stripes, alternate red 
and white, the Union of fifteen stars, white in a blue field, it 
measured 36 by 29 feet. The flag was made by Mrs. Mary 
Young Pickersgill, who was assisted by her two nieces. 

Mrs. Pickersgill had won no little fame as a designer of 
ship's colors, pennants, etc. Commodore Barney, with the 

23 




FORMER GOVERNORS OF MARYLAND

approval of General Strieker and General McDonald, had 
placed the order for the flag. At her little home, "House No. 
60 Albemarle Street, Old Town," (which still stands) she 
had cut the colored sections. Owing to its dimensions the flag, 
in pieces, had been taken to a near-by brewery and there 
stretched and sewed together in a large room. 

Before the first streaks of dawn appeared on the twelfth, the 
British were astir. From their transports boat after boat car- 
ried human freight to North Point — where now stands Fort 
Howard. Advancing into the marshes skirting the shore, they 
eagerly sought the shelter afforded by high reeds. 

The veterans crawled cautiously to higher ground and 
assembled in the woods nearby. In command of the land forces 
was General Sir Robert Ross, a soldier of distinction, who had 
served in Holland, Egypt and the Peninsula. At his side rode 
the ranking naval officer, Rear-Admiral Cockburn, whose lust 
for booty had earned the hatred of every American. Admiral 
Sir Alexander Cockrane, commander-in-chief of the British 
forces, remained aboard his ship. 

Four miles up Patapsco Neck proceeded this force. Gen- 
eral Ross, Admiral Cockburn and six other officers stopped at 
the home of Robert Gorsuch, a farmer, and ordered him to pre- 
pare breakfast. As each dish was placed before his unwel- 
come guests, Gorsuch was compelled to taste the food. The 
unwilling host asked General Ross if he would return for 
supper. He was told, "No, I shall eat my supper in Balti- 
more, or in hell." 

While the British officers were laughing at this remark the 
firing of musketry was heard. Dashing from the house, they 
mounted their horses and galloped to the scene of action. They 
emerged from a piece of woods about a mile distant and saw 
engaged the advance guards of their forces and a small party 
of Americans.

General Ross turned to Admiral Cockburn and said, "I'll 
bring up a column." As his horse wheeled a ball pierced the 
General's arm and chest. He fell — a monument marks the 
spot. Admiral Cockburn and others placed him on a horse 
and quickly sought the woods. A messenger was dispatched 
for a horse and cart, and in this crude vehicle the wounded 
officer was placed on blankets. 

As he was carried to the rear General Ross ordered that he 
be covered lest he be recognized by the troops. Beneath a 
huge poplar (a new stone church marks the place), opposite 
the Gorsuch farmhouse, a halt was made. Commending his 
wife and family to the protection of the government he had 
served so well. General Ross died in the arms of his favorite 
aide, Sir Duncan M'Dougall. 

Tradition has it that the British commander was shot by two 
young riflemen, Daniel Wells and Henry C. McComas. In 
the skirmish that followed both were killed. They were 
buried in a vault in Aisquith Square (Gay, Aisquith and 
Monument Streets), over which a monument was erected Sep- 
tember 12, 1858. 

On the fall of Ross the command of the British troops de- 
volved upon Colonel Brooke, of the Forty-fourth Regiment. 
Pushing forward, the British artillery was soon engaged in a 
duel with the American field-pieces. The invading army was 
ordered to lie down and partake of the refreshments afforded 
by their haversacks and canteens. 

Drawn up behind a strong paling (known as Dr. Houck's 
acre), the American yeomen awaited the approach of the Eng- 
lish veterans. Both forces suffered from the intense heat. 

In the early afternoon the Battle of North Point be?an. A 
roar of musketry opened out. 1 he British advancing in their 
customary fashion, in close order, attempted to take the Ameri- 
can position by a rush. Into their midst was poured a hail-

storm of shot, slugs, nails and scrap iron. The defenders were 
short of ammunition and their weapons were mostly of anti- 
quated type. 

Several flank movements were attempted by the attacking 
body. General Strieker, comprehending these movements, met 
each one sturdily. The armies swayed back and forth, with 
victory coquetting first with one and then with the other. Clos- 
ing in, a hand-to-hand struggle followed. The American 
lines, outnumbered, began to waver, and Vv'ere ordered to retire. 
Instead of administering a slight check to the enemy, they had 
stopped the advance with a bloody shock. 

In this struggle, which lasted an hour and a half, the British 
lost 600 men killed and wounded, and the Americans 150. 
Leaving a trail of blood behind. General Strieker's army, in 
good order, made its way back to Worthington's Mill, near 
Hampstead Hill. Here he was joined by General Winder, 
with the Virginia Brigade and U. S. Dragoons. 

A heavy rain fell and the weary soldiers were drenched 
before they reached shelter. Worn by the march of the day 
previous, a night of nervous anticipation, the battle and the 
retreat, they sought such rest as they could get. 

The battlefield was a sickening sight. Scattered about were 
the bodies of the slain, mingled with the wounded. Over the 
sodden fields the British searched, picking out their men. The 
dead were ignored and the injured carried to the old meeting 
house, near Bread and Cheese Creek. 

After their own men had been cared for, the invaders turned 
their attention to the American injured. In the old meeting 
house British surgeons worked over friend and foe. The build- 
ing vibrated with the groans of the wounded and dying. Be- 
neath the same roof Colonel Brooke sought shelter from the 
torrents that poured from the heavens. 

Thirsty for revenge, the British commanders ordered their 
men forward at daybreak. From beneath makeshift tents,

through which the water had dripped, weary and cramped, they 
responded to the call to arms. The march was resumed and 
unopposed they made their way towards the city. At noon 
they halted near Orangeville. 

Colonel Brooke and Admiral Cockburn reconnoitered. De- 
termmmg to attack the American forces, the commanders dis- 
patched an officer to the fleet with a request that Admiral 
Cockrane make a diversion on the water front. Before sun- 
down the messenger returned. He bore an order, which read, 
"You are on no account to attack the enemy, unless positively 
certain of success." 

Admiral Cockburn glanced at the message. He insisted on 
an attack. Colonel Brooke summoned a council of war, which 
the naval officer refused to attend. The deliberations lasted 
until midnight, when the majority of the officers decided upon 
a retreat, and an hour and a half later the British army with- 
drew from the gates of the city, leaving bright campfires as a 
ruse. 

The naval forces were not idle. On the morning of the 
thirteenth, the bomb and rocket vessels began to bombard Fort 
McHenry and the other water defenses. Sixteen heavy ship3 
hurled bombs, rockets and solid shot. The British were pre- 
^ented from attempting to pass into the basin by a line of 
sunken hulks between Fort McHenry and the Lazaretto. 

Major Armislead opened the batteries of Fort McHenry 
upon them, and kept up a brisk fire for some time with his 
guns and mortars, when, to his chagrin, he found that the mis- 
siles fell short. The British ships were lying about two and a 
half miles off the fort — near the present Fort Carroll. The 
garrison was exposed to a shower of shells for several hours. 

One of the 24-pounders in the southwest bastion of the fort 
was dismounted by an exploding bomb. Judge (Captain) 
Joseph H. Nicholson, with a company of volunteer artillerists.

was in charge of this part of the works. The explosion killed 
Second Lieutenant Claggett and wounded several others. The 
wife of one of the men, while administering to the injured, was 
killed. 

Admiral Cockrane observed the confusion and ordered three 
of his bomb-vessels to move up nearer the fort. Major 
Armistead quickly took advantage of this. He ordered a gen- 
eral fire from every part of the fort. Within half an hour 
the British were driven back to their old anchorage. One ves- 
sel, the "Erebus," was saved from destruction by a division of 
small boats towing her beyond the range of Armistead's guns. 

In the rear ol the British men-o'-war was the cartel ship 
"Minden." Aboard this vessel were Francis Scott Key, a 
young lawyer, soldier and poet; his friend. Dr. William Beanes, 
of Upper Marlboro, Maryland, and Colonel Skinner, com- 
mander of the ship. Dr. Beanes had been made prisoner by 
the British after they had withdrawn from the burning of 
Washington. 

The conduct of several stragglers of the invading army 
caused the venerable physician to order their detention. Learn- 
ing of this some of the British officers, by way of retaliation, 
brought about his arrest. He was carried aboard a British 
ship. The news that Dr. Beanes was a prisoner spread 
rapidly. 

One of his friends went to the home of Francis Scott Key, 
at Georgetown, and requested the young lawyer to go with a 
fiag-of-truce and ask for the release of the physician. Presi- 
dent Madison gave his consent and orders were issued that the 
"Minden," used by the United States Government for the 
transfer of prisoners, be made ready. 

The "Minden" was then lying at Baltimore. Kej' came to 
this city and went aboard her. She came up with the British 
fleet in the lower Chesapeake. Key's mission was made

known. General Ross and Admiral Cockburn, in strong terms, 
spoke against the release of Dr. Beanes. After being in- 
formed of his many kind acts toward British officers who had 
been wounded, they relented. 

Having decided to attack Baltimore, they detained the 
Americans. The fleet headed up the Chesapeake. As the 
vessels entered the Patapsco, Key, Dr. Beanes and Colonel 
Skinner was transferred from the British ship to the "Minden." 
A guard of British marines were sent aboard the flag-of-truce 
ship to prevent the patriots from going ashore. The "Minden" 
was anchored north of the present ship channel, some distance 
from what is new Dundalk, Baltimore County. 

From the decks of the "Minden" Key and his companions 
watched the bombardment. As night fell the fury of the attack 
increased. At midnight 1250 picked men were sent from the 
fleet in barges, with scaling ladders and other implements for 
storming the fort. L nder the cover of darkness they passed to 
the south and approached Fort Covington and Webster's six- 
gun battery. 

For the purpose of examining the shores they threw up 
rockets. This gave the alarm. A large hay stack was set 
afire by the Americans. As its glow revealed the British boats. 
Fort McHenry and the two redoubts opened a terrific fire. The 
concussion was tremendous. The houses in the city were shaken 
to their foundations. 

Webster and his men worked gallantly, and to them Major 
Armistead said he was "persuaded the country was much in- 
debted for the final repulse of the enemy." Two vessels were 
sunk and a number of the attacking force were killed. Back to 
their ships went the British. The bombardment of the fort 
lasted until seven o'clock in the morning. Eighteen hundred 
shells were thrown by the attacking force. The total Ameri- 
can loss \\as four killed and twentv-four wounded.

STAR-SPANGLED 



During the night Key and his friends paced the deck of the 
"Minden." To these men the spectacle was one of horror. 
As shell after shell went screaming skyward towards the fort 
Key's anxiety grew. During an intermission in the firing he was 
in doubt as to the safety of the fort. On the back of a letter 
he began to write. 

The first blush of day tinged the skies. Gazing towards the 
fort Key beheld the Stars and Stripes floating triumphantly 
above the ramparts. His joy was without bounds. Into his 
brain leaped the words of "The Star-Spangled Banner." As 
the sun rose and the British gave up in despair he continued to 
make notes. 

The men-o'-war fell back. Key and his companions were 
permitted to go ashore. In a small boat with Dr. Beanes, 
Colonel Skinner and an oarsman. Key finished his writing. 
He proceeded into the city and came to Fountain Inn, which 
stood on Light Street, near Orange Alley, now German Street. 
That night he completed the poem destined to become the 
American National Anthem. 

In the morning he took the verses to his brother-in-law. 
Judge Nicholson. The words were found to fit perfectly the 
then popular melody, "Anacreon in Heaven." Carrying the 
song to the printing office of Benjamin Edes (Baltimore and 
Gay Streets), then serving as captain of the Twenty-seventh 
Regiment, copies of it were ordered. Samuel Sands, an ap- 
prentice, set the type and printed it. 

That evening it was sung in the taverns. Bonfires were lit 
in the streets and the citizens of Baltimore made merry, while 
the British with their dead commander and scores of wounded 
were on the Chesapeake, outward bound.

FRANCIS SCOTT KEY

FRANCIS SCOTT KEY. 

^^^HE author of our national anthem, "The Star- 
~ Q^ Spangled Banner," was born on his father's 
estate, "Terra Rubra," Maryland. The date 
^^^^^^1 of his birth is in dispute. It is given as August 1, 
1779, and August 9, 1780. 

"Terra Rubra" was at that time in Frederick County, but 
the locality now forms part of Carroll County. Ihere in the 
shadow of the Catoctin Mountain, amid fertile valleys, Francis 
Scott Key was reared. 

He was the son of John Ross Key, who served with dis- 
tinction as an officer in the Continental Army, and Ann Phoebe 
Dagworthy Charlton Key. General and Mrs. Key had another 
child, Ann Arnold Key, who married her brother's chum, 
Roger Brooke Taney, Secretary of the Treasury under Presi- 
dent Jackson and later Chief Justice of the United States 
Supreme Court. 

From the peaceful shades of "Terra Rubra" young Key was 
sent to St. John's College, Annapolis. The quaint town, 
around which centered the brilliant life of the Capital of the 
State, was a wonderful change for the impressionable boy. Dr. 
Upton Scott, his father's and uncle's neighbor in Frederick 
County, had built historic Carvel House, on Shipwright Street, 
and here the boy lived, with frequent visits to his grandfather, 
Francis Key, at his estate, "Belvoir," on the Severn River. 

Graduating with high honors, Francis Scott Key, with his 
fellow-student, Roger Brooke Taney, read law in the office 
of Jeremiah Townley Chase. Meantime he fell in love with 
Mary Tayloe Lloyd, daughter of Edward Lloyd IV of 
"Wye House," Talbot County. 

I hey were married at Annapolis by Rev. Ralph Higgin- 
botham, rector of St. Anne's Parish. Like the date of his 
birth, there is a discrepancy of a year in the two dates men-

tioned for this event. It is usually given as occurring in 1802. 
In May, 1855, Mrs. Mary Tayloe Key, the widow, applied 
to the Pension Office at Washington for bounty land on account 
of her husband's ser%ice in the War of 1812, and stated under 
oath that she was married to F. S. Key at Annapolis, Marj'- 
land, January 19, I 80 1 . Eleven children were born of this 
marriage. 

The year of his marriage Francis Scott Key began practic- 
ing law in Frederick County. Later he removed to George- 
town, D. C, where he formed an association in the practice 
with his uncle, Philip Barton Key. He was three times ap- 
pointed United States District Attorney for the District of 
Columbia, which office he held from 1833 to 1841. 

Key was a devout Christian. In the Sunday School he taught 
a Bible class of young men for many years. He was one of 
the vestrymen of St. John's Episcopal Church, Georgtown. The 
best memorial bearing tribute to his Christianity is found in the 
Imes of the hymn he composed, "Lord. With Glowing Heart 
Id Praise Thee." 

He wrote many poems, being also a contributor to the same 
periodical for which Edgar Allan Poe \\rote. His holidays 
he spent at "Terra Rubra." In that vicinity he was regarded 
as a spendthrift. He was careless in dress, but of a fine, free, 
impulsive nature, generous to a fault. An expression often 
heard was, "Farmer Key spent all the money that Lawyer 
Key made." 

In the winter of 1843, while visiting his daughter, Mrs. 
Charles Howard, in Baltimore, Key was stricken with pneu- 
monia, and died January 1 1 . Mrs. Howard's home was on 
the corner of Mount Vernon Place and Washington Place, 
where the Mount Vernon Methodist Episcopal Church now 
stands. He was buried in the Howard vault in St. Paul's 
Cemetery, Lombard Street and Fremont Avenue. The re- 
mains were later taken to Frederick and interred in Mount - 
Olivet Cemetery.

This banner, the largest battle flag in existence, measures 
36 by 29 feet. It was made by Mrs. Mary Young Pickersgill 
and her two nieces. The material was cut at Mrs. Pickersgill's 
home, "No. 60 Albemarle Street, Old Town" (Pratt and 
Albemarle Streets, Baltimore), and carried to a nearby brew- 
ery, where it was sewed together. During the bombardment 
it was pierced by a number of shots. Recently the flag was 
restored at the National Museum, Washington, D. C, where it 
is considered one of the most precious possessions of that insti- 
tution.

U. S. S. CONSTELLATION 

Launched at Baltimore, September 7, 1 797, this frigate 
is the oldest vessel in active service in the United States Navy. 
On February 9, 1 799, off Basse Terre, after a fierce fight, the 
"Constellation" captured the French frigate "L'Insurgente" ; 
in 1 802 she rendered valuable service during the war with 
Tripoli; bottled up in Norfolk harbor during the War of 
1812, the vessel prevented the British from capturing the water 
defenses in that vicinity; during the Civil War she was sta- 
tioned in the Mediterranean to protect American commerce 
from privateers; from 1871 to 1888 and from 1890 to 1893, 
the "Constellation" was used to take the midshipmen from the 
United States Naval Academy, Annapolis, Maryland, on their 
annual cruise; on May 22, 1894, she arrived at Newport, 
Rhode Island, where she was assigned to do duty as a receiv- 
ing ship; in 1914 Congress appropriated $50,000 to repair 
her and ordered that she be stationed at Baltimore during the 
National Star-Spangled Banner Centennial Celebration.

BALTIMORE AND THE PANAMA 



tTcmend 






The Panai 
Baltimore. 
Why? 

Almost every page o( this book contributes to the answer. 
Baltimore, to begin with, is on an almost direct line with 
the west coast ot South America, and is nearer the Canal than 
any other of the large cities of the Atlantic Coast. 

These important facts are very comprehensively shown on 
the accompanying map. 

With that rugged barrier, the Isthmus of Panama, no longer 
barring the way, the great west coast opens up untold and 
incalculable opportunities for commerce. 
But why Baltimore? 

ecause trade, like almost everything, follows the course 
least resistance. It traverses natural lanes if it can, and 
the thing that makes a lane natural or unnatural is largely 
geographical position. 

Itimore's position is splendid. 

Because of this, one cannot evade the conclusion that the 

Canal will have a tremendous influence upon this Cily, and 

that the beneficial effect will be communicated to the new field 

opened up — that vast territory which is just now put in direct 



: reciprocity. 



touch with Baltimore. In other words, there i 

South American trade will come to Baltimore and be carried 

through Baltimore, because it will benefit those who take ad- 

the opportunity the City offers. Baltimore does not 

expect people to bring their business here for its enrichment. 

The point is, they benefit and enrich themselves by so doing. 

Look at the situation. 

The Baltimore Book is laden with facts that bear out 
the assumption that Baltimore is a natural trade route from 
Panama and is destined to become a great distributing depot 
for transcanal trade. Lower freight rales than enjoyed by any 
other city of the Atlantic Coast (as shown on pages 76, 77, 
78, 79 and 80 of this book) will draw merchandise here from 
an extensive area of the United Stales, and just here an im- 
portant combination is effected. 

Low freight rales, a shorter land and sea distance. Hence 
the natural lane — the course of least resistance. No obstacles 
in the guise ol excessive rates to or from the western and north- 
western sections of the United Stales, and a short voyage to 
the Canal. 

Isn't that an advantageous combinalion? 
But there are many other considerations, all arguments in 
favor of Baltimore. 

Its splendid harbor. Covered wharves, from which ships 
lying in deep water alongside may be loaded; devices for the 
rapid handling of bulk cargoes, including coal. 

Three great trunk line railway systems connect Baltimore 
with the rich mining and agricultural regions of the West. 
Itimore lies nearer these regions, let it be repeated, than any 
other large city of the Atlantic Coast. 

Then there will be always return cargoes for ships — a most 
important consideration. 

The vessel that comes here with the forest products of the 
North Pacific Coast, fruits or vegetables from California, bulk 
modilies from Central or South America, will go forth 
again freighted with coal, manufactured products of iron and 
steel, machinery, paints and mixed merchandise, for Baltimore 
is very near llie producing regions of these commodities. 

Central and South American countries require railroad 
equipment. Their agricultural and industrial development de- 
pends upon such. These countries want machinery of all sorts, 
clothing, hats, etc., and Baltimore stands ready to supply such 
needs, for it is in the manufacture of these articles that it now 
mmanding position. 
Truly, there is no need for apprehension concerning return 

With great railroad piers, open and covered; with storage 

rehouses; with a great Municipal pier system, which is being 

ith shorter rail haul to Northern and Western cities 

during districts than is enjoyed by other Atlantic 

oris- with the activities of the Cily Administration earnestly 

'' olnved in the development of these facilities; with these and 

' Tttrcy of other advantages set forth in The Baltimore 

n„.k who can successfully dispute that the Canal will have 

ndous influence upon the future of this C.ty?

EXPLANATORY 

(QTg^j^g®®^ H JS book is written in response to the demand 
111,^^^^^ for accurate information concerning Baltimore, its 
Ll[^HQd7^ resources, its general development, and its munici- 
^^^^^;^ pal activities. 

The Baltimore Book is published by the Municipality. It 
has no private purpose to serve. It deals primarily with the 
Baltimore of TODA\'. 

Baltimore reveres her traditions, is proud of her history 
glories in her honored past, but Baltimore, rich in all these 
priceless blessings, has been very practical and has given much 
thought, much aggressive energy, to the solution of the material 
problems that confront her as an important member of the 
Great Family of American Municipalities. 

What Baltimore is and what Baltimore is doing are herein 
presented as eloquent and convincing facts. The case is rested 
without argument. 

The development of Baltimore along industrial, commercial, 
governmental, financial and all civic lines, during recent years, 
has been extraordinary. Imagination plays no part in that 
statement. 

Baltimore, as far as the memory of man runneth, has always 
been big. It started with all the natural prerequisites of a gre?\t 
city. But Baltimore is not only big. It is bigger than ever; 
not only bigger, but better. This is not a vain boast. A few 
cities are bigger than Baltimore; find a better one. Baltimore 
has been bountifully endowed by nature, and nature is being 
assisted by those most skilled in civic development. The fol- 
lowing pages will tell how. That is the STORY. 




CITY GOVERNMENT OF BALTIMORE 
WHAT IT IS DOING 



A resume of great projects under way: The $23,000,000 Sewerage 
System; Repaying the City; Civic Centre; Colossal Municipal 
Docks; Factory Site Commission; Splendid Parks; Sanitary Regu- 
lations; Health, Fire and Police Departments; Public Schools; 
Free Baths, etc. 

i^^g^^HE Municipal Government of Baltimore is alert, 
IL>^^M^^^ creative and constructive. It is not sufficient to 
Ll/^BrArn^ say that the admmistration is i>i sympathy with 
[^^^^^^] the great forward movement in this City. It 
is an inspiring part of the movement. Loyally supported and 
encouraged by citizens in all walks of life, it is engaged in a 
systematic scheme of modernization and beautification, and is 
pursuing a masterful constructive policy. It is a policy that 
does not balk at obstacles. An obstacle is something to be 
overcome; that's all. 

Since I 904, when the heart of Baltimore was burned out, 
when smoldering ashes and hideous debris stretched over 1 40 
acres, Baltimore has been building, and building big. The 
great disaster was turned into opportunity. The loss, approxi- 
mately $125,000,000, was a staggering blow. No effort is 
made to minimize this fact, but it was a blow that awoke the 
fighting spirit. It was not a knockout. 

At this crisis, what did the City Government do? 



j ) TML^ L3/ALT[MOR^e BOOK 

It refused all outside aid ; declined it courteously and with 
grateful thanks, for stricken Baltimore was very grateful. It 
wasn't false pride that impelled Robert M. McLane, then 
Mayor, to take this stand. He voiced the sentiment of the 
community when he notified the world that Baltimore would 
take care of its own, and would rebuild through its own effort. 
Before he could get this on the wires $60,000 had actually 
been received, and "draw on us" telegrams brought the amount 
up to $200,000. Every cent went back, but the generous 
sentiment which prompted the givers will always be treasured. 
The whole world seemed eager to hasten to the aid of Balti- 
more. Hundreds of sympathetic messages were received. 

The City had just sold its interest in the Western Maryland 
Railroad for $8,751,000. Upward of $4,500,000 of this 
fund was immediately used for public improvements and the 
rehabilitation of the burned area. 

A Burnt District Commission was created. It widened 
streets; it reduced grades. Baltimoreans built; they built wisely 
and built well. Old picturesque Baltimore had been partly 
wiped out by the fire, but before the flames were extinguished 
at one end of the destroyed district a new Baltimore was spring- 
ing up at the other. Those who saw the City in the throes of 
devastation wonder at the metamorphosis presented today. It 
is simply marvelous. Following the work of the Burnt District 
Commission other millions were spent according to a definite 
plan of City development. So much for the past. 

What is the City Government doing today? 

It is building the finest sanitary Sewerage system in the 
world, and will expend about $23,000,000 for this purpose. 
The system is almost completed. 

It has spent $6,1 61 ,000 on its magnificent Municipal docks, 
and has available $5,000,000 more for the enlargement of the 
system, which includes a recreation pier. 



TMtr BALTIMORLE BOOK | 

It is constructing a broad street (Key Highway) paralleling 
the south side of the harbor for several miles. 

It is grappling the paving problem, and a Commission is now 
engaged in a general repaying plan for the entire City. The 
Commission has a working capital of $5,000,000. This will 
be increased by means of ihe paving tax to $10,000,000. 

To date 54 miles have been repaved and 10 miles are under 
contract. The highways are being improved under a general 
plan, and it is the aim of the administration to make Balti- 
more second to none in this particular branch of civic develop- 
ment. The latest standard specifications are followed and four 
standard pavements, namely. Granite Block, Vitrified Block, 
Sheet Asphalt and Wood Block, are being used. 

Aside from the above-mentioned $10,000,000, an addi- 
tional $4,500,000 are being spent on street improvement in 
the "Annex" (northern and western extremities). 

Forty-seven miles (based upon a width of 30 feet between 
curbs) have been paved in this particular section since 1 906. 
These streets, with those within the older parts of the City re- 
paved in accordance with the general plan of 1910 referred to, 
total 1 1 miles paved or repaved within recent years. 

And the work is still being pushed forward with great 
energy. 

There is pending a loan of $1,000,000 for the construction 
and improvement of Police Department buildings. 

For the enlargement of Baltimore's water supply, $5,000,000 
is available. 

A high-pressure water pipe line through the business section 
was completed in 1 9 I 2 at a cost of $1,000,000. This is a 
very important addition to Baltimore's fire-fighting equipment, 
and materially reduces the cost of fire insurance.

1 he sum of $340,000 was expended in 1911 for additional 
apparatus and buildings for the Fire Department, exclusive of 
the sum appropriated annually for its maintenance. 

By means of an electric conduit system, overhead telephone, 
telegraph and electric wires have been placed underground; 
$3,000,000 have been spent for this purpose and $2,000,000 
more are available for a contmuation of the work. 

There are hundreds of other things which the City Govern- 
ment is doing. In matters of municipal routine it is kept right 
to the notch. Departments are "keyed up" as are those of 
great private enterprises, and the whole organization is working 
in systematic harmony. Baltimore is not only enjoying a busi- 
ness administration, but a progressive business administration. 

The following pages will describe concisely some of the 
projects in which it is engaged.

A GREAT SEWERAGE SYSTEM 

Baltimore will spend $23,000,000 on its Sewerage System. 
The work was begun in 1905 and will be completed by 1916. 
Sections in various parts of the City are already in operation, 
and when it is entirely finished the City will have the most 
modern plant in the world. The system represents the most 
advanced ideas m the solution of this great Municipal problem. 

It is impossible to realize the magnitude of the work or the 
diversified engineering problems that are being solved every day 
unless one takes the time to visit in person some of the construc- 
tion work being carried on in various parts of the City. The 
work is most interesting because of its complications. 

The requirement of the Legislative Act, that all sewage must 
be purified before being discharged, made it necessary to keep 
the storm-water separate from the sanitary sewage, allowing the 
former to discharge through its own system of drains into the 
nearest natural outlet. The sanitary sewage is carried to the 
disposal plant and purified. The sewage, by bacterial treat- 
ment, becomes 95 per cent. pure. 

Two-thirds of the sanitary sewage of the City will flow by 
gravity to the disposal plant on Back River, about six miles 
from Baltimore. The other third will be pumped through huge 
iron force-mains to the outfall sewer, an elevation of 72 feet, 
from which point it also will flow by gravity to the disposal 
plant. The pumping station building is now completed and 
equipped with three engines, each having a pumping capacity 
of 27,500,000 gallons a day. The station will house five of 
these enormous pumps, the additional two to be installed later. 

The difficulties of the work are doubled because of the 
necessity of constructing two systems of sewers — sanitary and 
storm-water — which cross and recross each other in thousands 
of places. In some cases two large sewers of the different 
systems come together on the same level, which requires the 

15 



THfT RAI.TIMORe BOOK 

siphoning ol one beneath the other. In one uislance this re- 
sulted in the construction of one of the largest siphons in the 
world. 

The purified sewage, discharged from the disposal plant, in 
flowing to its outlet operates turbines. These run dynamos, 
which produce current for lighting the plant at practically no 
cost.

BalUmnre's Water Supply — A/'. Royal Pumping Slalion 



® 



THtr BALTIMOR^e E300K 



BALTIMORE'S WATER SUPPLY 

The City of Baltimore has about $15,000,000 invested in 
its water works system, and an additional $5,000,000 was 
recently voted for an impounding and storage reservoir and 
filtration works, with the necessary connectmg conduits and 
tunnels. Many of these are now in course of construction, 
and it is hoped that the entire work will be completed during 
the year 1915. 

Upon the completion of the new plant, the entire supply 
of the City will be taken from the Gunpowder River, which 
has an average daily flow of 270,000,000 gallons. The 
Jones Falls watershed which is used at the present time to 
supply part of the City's water, will be abandoned, although 
it will be possible to use the water from this source in case 
of an emergency. 

When the improvements, which are now well under way, 
are completed, Baltimore will have one of the finest water 
supplies of any city in the United States. A new impounding 
reservoir will not only give an ample supply, but a filtration 
plant will purify this water so that in quality it will equal that 
of any city in the Vv'orld. 

The impounding reservoir, now being built at Loch Raven, 
on the Gunpowder River, will have a capacity of about 
2,000,000,000 gallons. The impounding reservoir on the 
Jones Falls Supply, known as Lake Roland, has a capacity 
of 400,000,000 gallons. 

There are seven storage reservoirs, most of them within the 
City limits, with a total storage capacity of 1,488,875,000 
gallons. There are also two standpipes, each with a capacity 
of 300,000 gallons. The Water Department's income is de- 
rived from water rents.

CIVIC CENTER — JONES FALLS AND KEY 
HIGHWAYS 

^^S^^ HOSE charged with the administration of the 
i^/^M^Q^ City Government have given much thought to 
W(f^Bu)S\l'^ the future. What is done is done on a large 
^^^==^:^^ scale. Every succeeding day finds the City a 
bigger, better, busier Baltimore, and improvements are made 
with a comprehensive idea of the demands of the future. They 
are, as nearly as human calculation can make them, for all 
time. 

The development now going on is in accordance with a pre- 
conceived plan of city building. Certain details are in charge 
of a Commission on City Plan. One of the most important 
features in the City betterment plan was the recent covering 
cf the stream (Jones Falls) which formerly flowed in an open 
channel through the center of the City. The flow is now 
through three concrete tubes, consisting in part of the largest 
drainage tunnel in the world. 

The top of these conduits and tunnel is now a highway of 
a minimum width of 75 feet. This drive will provide a direct 
highway on an easy grade running diagonally across the City 
from the docks to the railroad terminals. This great improve- 
ment is a part of an elaborate and connected scheme of future 
development, the main feature of which is a Civic Center to 
the east of the City Hall. To the west, forming a part of the 
general plan, are the Postoifice and Baltimore's three-million- 
dollar Courthouse. 

Another project of importance in which the City is now 
engaged is the construction of Key Highway, a wide thorough- 
fare extending from Light street, along or very near the water- 
front, to Fort McHenry — a distance of several rniles.

TH& B/^LTIMORL^ BOOK 



This highway, named for Francis Scott Key, author of 
"The Star-Spangled Banner," will open up a splendid avenue 
of approach to the southern side of Baltimore's extensive harbor. 
A system of railroad tracks and switches, which are to be in- 
stalled, will place all plants, piers, etc., in direct touch with 
railroad systems.

BALTIMORE'S MUNICIPAL DOCKS 

The Municipal docks of Baltimore are not mere ornaments. 
They are not solely colossal specimens of engineering skill. 
They are for use. When the City put acres of land under 
water and spent its millions, its object was, and is, to provide 
the best maritime terminals that could be built. These docka 
may be leased by any responsible parties for 36 cents a square 
foot per year. Those who have not seen the great marine 
stations have little idea of their magnitude, and it is important 
to remember that they are not a private monopoly, and are not 
controlled by private parties to selfish ends. The City of Balti- 
more OWNS them and throws them open to the commerce of 
the world. Those who would enter the shipping business here 
have the first and most vexatious problem, namely, terminal 
facilities, solved in advance. Magnificent docks are available. 

Prior to the fire of 1904 the City owned little wharf 
property of importance. The fire made it possible to acquire 
all of the burned district fronting on the harbor (about 4,000 
lineal feet) . The City purchased the property, removed all 
buildings, streets, etc., and laid cut a system of public wharves 
and docks along Pratt street. These are situated in the upper 
harbor and are intended for the coastwise and bay trade. The 
transatlantic steamers, at present, find ample accommodations 
at the railroad piers in the lower harbor. 

Pier 4, at the foot of Market Place, Is 150 feet wide. 
Along Market Place the City has erected three handsome, 
commodious buildings, a retail market, a fish market, a whole- 
sale market, all within a stone's throw of Pier 4, which is set 
aoart for the use of the market boats. 

A two-story recreation pier at the foot of Broadway was 
completed early in 1914. The lower floor of this structure is 
to be used for commercial purposes ; the upper section for a 
recreation center.

MUNICIPAL FACTORY SITE COMMISSION 

(0Si^2^^ H E City Government has a specially organized 
||^,^=^JtQ^ department that handles all industrial problems. 
y[^BQ(j)5 It is a public agency created for the purpose of 
(^^^^:^ promoting any movement that has for its end the 
development or enlargement of Baltimore's industrial activities. 

It is a department of the City Government ; supported by 
the City Government. There are no charges, costs nor fees 
connected with its vs'ork. 

Any service performed by the department or any informa- 
tion given by the department is absolutely free of any financial 
burden to the person who seeks its aid or takes advantage of 
its co-operation. 

If you want to know anything about the business possibili- 
ties of Baltimore; if you want to get in touch with the City's 
financial interests; if you want to know what factory sites are 
in the market; in fact, if you want to know anything at all 
about any phase of the industrial affairs of the City or any of 
the problems incident thereto — communicaie with the Municipal 
Factory Site Commission, City Hall. 

You will find it ready to give help in any particular or in 
any direction whatsoever. 

The Commission is organized on a basis that puts it in 
touch with all the different business interests in Baltimore. 

It is composed of a member of the Chamber of Commerce; 
a member of the Merchants and Manufacturers' Association; 
a member of the Travelers and Merchants' Association ; a 
member of the Old Town Merchants and Manufacturers' 
Association; a member of the Federation of Labor; a member 
of the Builders' Exchange; a member of the Real Estate 
Exchange; a representative of the Pennsylvania Railroad; a

) ) TM1~ BALTIIVIOF^E BOOK ( ( 

representative of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad ; a repre- 
sentative of the Western Maryland Railroad. 

The Commission has a finely-developed system under which 
a wide range of factory sites is listed. Real estate dealers, as 
well as prospective manufacturers, are constantly referring to 
the Commission's list whenever they have mquiries for industrial 
property. 

The City itself controls about one hundred and seventy 
acres of waterfront territory with direct railroad connections. 

The Commission is in touch with a combination of magnifi- 
cent buildings which have been converted into "beehive in- 
dustrial colonies." All of the most modern appliances, power 
and other manufacturing advantages are readily available on 
attractive terms. These buildings are situated near the junction 
of two railroads. 

The Factory Site Commission will put anyone in touch with 
any of the above propositions. 

MUNICIPAL JOURNAL 

The City is issuing a semi-monthly publication known as 
the Municipal Journal. It is devoted to the exploitation 
of facts about the operations of the City Government, and 
through this agency the public, both at home and abroad, is 
kept in intimate touch with all the plans and achievements of 
the Municipal Government. It is also provided with frequent 
reports of all moneys collected and how the same is being spent. 
It is conducted in a manner intended to familiarize Baltimoreans 
with all the most important data about their City. Its columns 
are filled with exceedingly instructive matter which never finds 
its way into the columns of any other publication. It lays be- 
fore its readers things that are planned to be done, as well as 
things that have actually been done, and has established itself 
as an institution of practical value to the community, and the 
community is giving it cordial support.

The Mayor, the Comptroller and City Council are elected by 
the people for a term of four years; so is also the President of 
the Second Branch City Council, who acts in the Mayor's stead 
when the latter is absent and who succeeds to the Mayoralty 
in event of a vacancy during an unexpired term. The Mayor 
appoints all heads of departments, boards, commissions, etc., 
subject to confirmation by the Second Branch. 

Baltimore is divided into 24 wards and four councilmanic 
districts. Each district is composed of six wards. Each ward 
has a representative in the First Branch and each district has 
two in the Second Branch. Including the President, there are 
nine members of the latter body. 

The Board of Estimates, composed of the Mayor, President 
of the Second Branch City Council, Comptroller, City Solicitor 
and City Engineer, is a co-ordinate body and passes on many 
measures in conjunction with the City Council, particularly those 
that relate to finances, granting of franchises and such. 

All contracts are let by the Board of Awards, the personnel 
of which is the same as the Board of Estimates, with the ex- 
ception that the City Register takes the place of the City 
Engineer.

PARKS OF BALTIMORE 

1S"i|ii^j^: ALTIMORE has a splendid system of parks. 
■"•> IMjj^^^^: These are one of the features of the City. The 
^^^^^■jj reservations are, or will be, all connected; that 
i t--^^ ^;>l2;j:^;' is, they may be reached one from the other by 
especially constructed boulevards, the whole system being gener- 
ally referred to as "Baltimore's chain of parks." 

The City for years has been blessed with an abundance of 
park area, but very recently large sections of the suburbs, north 
and west, were acquired, which added many acres of beautiful 
and picturesque territory. In making these purchases Balti- 
more looked far into the future. 

The topography of the country in some instances is almost 
mountainous, with beautiful streams winding in and out, the 
scene retaining much of its natural environment. 

Druid Hill is Baltimore's largest park. It is famous, for 
among the parks of the country it is unequaled in natural 
beauty. It was purchased in 1 860, and has an area of nearly 
700 acres. 

The rugged scenery of Gwynn's Falls Park, through which 
flows the stream Gwynn's Falls, at times rushing like a torrent, 
arises to challenge Druid Hill's claim to pre-eminent beauty. 
Here nature's handiwork is sublime. 

As has been stated, the scheme of park development em- 
braces, as one of its important features, broad boulevards, 
which represent the most advanced ideas and skill in highway 
construction. 

The parks play an important part in City life, and in their 
administration and management are kept "abreast of the times." 
Many have swimming pools, which are enjoyed by thousands, 
and from which graduate each year scores of youthful expert 
swimmers. There are playgrounds for the tots, and these

especial reservations are under the direction of the Playground 
Association, which has professional instructors or teachers in 
attendance. All the parks are supplied with baseball grounds, 
tennis courts and other facilities for healthy sport. 

The parks are not supported by direct taxation, but from 
the receipts of the street railways, 9 per cent, of the gross 
receipts being devoted to this purpose. The fund thus raised, 
which is increasing yearly at the rate of 6 per cent., can not be 
diverted from the parks. 

This amounts to approximately $500,000 annually, which, 
with other sources of revenue, brings the total available for 
park purposes to $5 1 0,000 as a yearly income, exclusive of 
any loan for park Improvement and enlargement.

BALTIMORE A HEALTHY CITY 

iS'ijpi™!^;: ALTIMORE is naturally an unusually healthy 
Jr> llj^^^^: City, but nature has an ally in the form of a 
If/^mC^M)] Department of Health, which for effective work 
\^^^^^;Z^:^''i and successful results is second to none. The 
Health Department of Baltimore is regarded as a model. It 
wages its warfare with thoroughly modern and scientific methods. 
"Nip in the bud" is its slogan. With the combination — nature, 
vigilance and science — enlisted on the side of health, pestilence 
and epidemic are unknown. This is all the more gratifying 
when it is recalled that Baltimore is an immigrant port. To 
fight against the importation of disease there are very strict 
regulations. The Quarantine Station, connected with the Health 
Department, is some distance from the City, and all incoming 
vessels are boarded and must be given a clean bill of health 
by a medical officer representing the Municipality before they 
are allowed to proceed. 

Exceptional measures to combat tuberculosis are applied, 
and a corps of vigilant nurses is constantly working throughout 
the City with this object in view. These efforts have been 
crowned with the most gratifying results. In fact, the State, 
City and private organizations are rendering splendid service 
in the prevention of tuberculosis. There is in operation a 
Municipal hospital (Sydenham) for the treatment of infectious 
diseases. Exceptionally effective laws are enforced in the in- 
terest of sanitation. Inspectors pass upon edibles offered for 
sale to determine whether they are lit for consumption. If not, 
they are destroyed summarily. There is also a regulation which 
prescribes the quality of milk that may be sold, and inspectors 
with facilities for making tests are constantly at work. 

A department for the treatment of rabies or hydrophobia is 
connected with one of the hospitals. Nearly all cases of this 
dread malady brought to this hospital are successfully treated.

BALTIMORE HOSPITALS 

The hospitals of Baltimore are by no means the least of 
its features. The City, to the contrary, has delevoped into 
a mecca to which persons requirmg the most scientific treat- 
ment come in search of cure, and thousands from afar are 
entered as patients yearly. Some of the most distinguished 
men and women of the country have come to Baltimore in 
search of health, and have gone away singing praises of Balti- 
more hospitals. The City is very proud of its development 
and equipment in this respect, for to be a leader in the world's 
work for humanity is a very enviable reputation to enjoy. 

The great Johns Hopkins Hospital is a Baltimore institu- 
tion. It is known all over civilization and has an unexcelled 
record of accomplishment. This establishment has many de- 
partments, one of the most recent of which is The Henry 
Phipps Psychiatric Clinic; for the erection and endowment of 
the building Mr. Henry Phipps donated nearly one million 
dollars. The purpose of this clinic is primarily for the study 
of nervous and mental diseases and affords exceptional oppor- 
tunities for scientific treatment of these cases. Its laboratories 
are equipped with every modern appliance known to medical 
science. 

As stated elsewhere, Baltimore makes especial effort to com- 
bat tuberculosis, and several large State and City sanatoriums 
are devoted to this purpose; while Sydenham Hospital, sup- 
ported by the City and under the direction of the Commissioner 
of Health, treats infectious diseases exclusively. 

Some of the other leading hospitals are: 

Presbyterian Eye and Ear Infirmary, Hebrew Hospital, 

Maryland General Hospital, University of Maryland Hospital, 

St. Luke's Hospital, Union Protestant Infirmary, 

Franklin Square Hospital, United Slates Marine Hospital, 

Churcb Home and Infirmary, Quarantine Hospital, 

Mercy Hospital, St. Joseph's Hospital.

BALTIMORE PUBLIC BATHS 

The Public Baths of Baltimore represent one of the chief 
agencies in the City for the promotion of health and cleanli- 
ness. The system provides for cleansing baths, which are open 
all the year round in congested City districts, and recreative 
swimming pools, open during the summer. 

There are six indoor cleansing baths, which contain 225 
cabms and accommodate 650,000 patrons annually, erected 
at a cost of $200,000. 

There are also five recreative swimming baths in parks and 
on the riverfront, which have 250,000 patrons annually. Four 
portable baths (which scheme originated in Baltimore) are 
small houses carried from one street corner to another in 
crowded sections. They afford hot and cold water shower 
baths to over 75,000 persons yearly. 

Two recreative centers in public parks are also equipped 
with shower and swimming baths. The one at Patterson Park 
has the largest artificial fwimming pool in the United States. 
The annual cost to the City for maintenance of the entire 
Public Bath System is about $40,000.

PUBLIC SCHOOLS 

In providing educational facilities for children, most liberal 
provision is made, and a compulsory educational law is strictly 
enforced. The schools are of exceptionally high standard. 
There are kindergartens for the very young. Night schools 
for those who have advanced m years, but not correspondmgly

Teachers entering the educational service are not only re- 
quired to be proficient along general lines, but they must take 
a two-year course of training in the Teachers' Training School. 

There were 84,000 pupils and 2,064 teachers during the 
last scholastic year. There are 1 44 schools of all kinds.

FIRE DEPARTMENT 

Baltimore's Fire Department has been officially declared by 
experts to be one of the most thorough in the United States. 
It has all known mechanical devices for fighting fires. 

The high-pressure pipe line, which has been extended over 
an area of 1 70 acres in the business district (completed 1912), 
is the latest device and the most modern auxiliary of the fire- 
fighting establishment of the City. 

The pipe line system consists of three powerful pumps, which 
force water through large pipes at tremendous pressure. These 
pipes are, of course, all underground, but are tapped at inter- 
vals of 1 70 feet and connected with hydrants that bring the 
water to the surface. The hydrants, which are depressed be- 
low the sidewalk and protected by covers that can be easily 
removed, are systematically placed through the "down-town" 
district. There are at present 226 hydrants, and the number 
will be increased as the system is extended. Water, under 
great pressure, may be thrown in or against a building by 
means of various nozzle devices connected directly to the 
hydrants or with hose especially adapted to pipe line service. 

Baltimore has spent $1,000,000 on its pipe line. Insurance 
rates in the area protected by the service have been greatly 
reduced. 

The personnel of the Fire Department is of the highest type. 
Recruits must pass an examination, mental and physical, before 
entering, and the training which they subsequently receive makes 
them exceptionally fit for their exacting duties. 

The department consists of 40 engine companies, 1 8 hook 
and ladders, two fire boats, two water towers, two automobile 
hose companies, automobiles for the chief, deputy and district 
chiefs. The force numbers 860 men. Automobile tractors 
are replacing horses at the rate of ten tractors a year. 

An exclusive feature in connection with the signal system is 
a portable telephone which may be connected to the fire alarm 
boxes in the high pressure zone to establish communication with 
headquarters. Each company carries one of these portable 
telephones.

POLICE DEPARTMENT 



The Police Department of Baltimore consists of 1,129 per- 
sons, all told, from Commissioners down. The department, 
though supported by the City of Baltimore, is under the direc- 
tion of a board appointed by the Governor of the State. 

The department is splendidly disciplined, and its adminis- 
tration is along thoroughly modern lines. There are "traffic 
officers" stationed at ail points where traffic is congested. Their 
duty is to "keep things moving." These officers have large 
powers. They may summarily arrest any who show a dispo- 
sition not to obey to the letter the very exacting traffic laws. 
The officer keeps vehicles and cars "on the move" or stops 
them by whistle signals. In this way the problem is solved to 
the best advantage. The immovable "jam" that formerly 
occurred on down-town streets is now absent. Cars, great 
motor vans, automobiles and the collection of miscellaneous 
vehicles that crowd the thoroughfares pass along without con- 
fusion and unnecessary delay. 

Aside from the traffic squad and main body of the force, 
there are mounted police, motorcycle men and automobile patrol 
wagons; a harbor patrol, which uses a steamer and a gasoline 
launch. 

Police headquarters are at the Courthouse. Here the Police 
Board, the Marshal and the detectives are located.

BALTIMORE'S WIRES UNDERGROUND 

In maintaining its own electrical conduit system, Baltimore 
stands unique as being the first American City of importance 
to provide underground accommodation for wires and cables 
transmitting all classes of electrical energy. 

The entire central portion of the City is served by the 
Municipal system, and the work of laying extensions to the 
more remote sections is progressing rapidly. Three million dol- 
lars have already been invested in the plan, and during the 
fall of 1912 the people of the City approved an additional 
loan of $2,000,000 to be expended m a continuation of the 
work. 

By virtue of certain Legislative enactment, it is made manda- 
tory on the part of wire-operating corporations and individuals 
to remove, upon notice of the completion of the system in 
various given districts, their poles and overhead wires and, in 
substitution therefor, to install cables in the conduits. The 
electric light and power, telephone and telegraph companies, 
realizing the advantages to be derived in the way of greater 
protection and more facile access to their equipment, heartily 
co-operate with the City authorities in the prosecution of the 
work. Furthermore, the Municipal ownership of the system 
insures a uniform and reasonable rate of rental for the under- 
ground space thus provided.

INDUSTRIAL ADVANTAGES OF BALTIMORE 

•.'^MANUFACTURER must have facilities for 
assembling raw material at his plant. He must 
have facilities for gettmg a finished product on 
the market, and he must have a MARKET. 

Baltimore furnishes these accessories. 

First — The City has splendid railroad service in all direc- 
tions. It offers transportation facilities by water that are un- 
excelled. It is a great seaport, foreign and coastwise. It also 
utilizes the great Chesapeake Bay and its numerous tributaries, 
thus connecting with scores of towns and landings, penetrating 
far into Maryland and Virginia. 

Second — Baltimore is the natural feeder of its immediate 
vicinity in all directions. It has at home about 700,000 persons 
for whom it must provide; but it has another natural market 
— that tremendous area to the South and Southwest and West. 
This is Baltimore's undisputed sphere of industrial and com- 
mercial influence. 

Third — No Chinese Wall, in the form of excessive freight 
rates, separates the manufacturer from his market. Baltimore 
enjoys lower rates than other cities, as the table of comparative 
rates, given elsewhere m this book, will show. 

Fourth — The manufacturer in Baltimore is not harrassed by 
labor troubles. 

Fifth — Manufacturing implements — machinery, apparatus, 
mechanical tools actually employed in the manufacture of 
articles of commerce — are not taxed in Baltimore for City 
purposes. 

Sixth — Insurance rates on manufacturing and mercantile es- 
tablishments in Baltimore are lower relatively than in other 
cities. 

Seventli — Power, fuel and light are cheap. Wheels turn 
more economically in Baltimore than anywhere else.

BALTIMORE'S TRADE AND INDUSTRIAL 
ORGANIZATIONS 

The business associations of Baltimore, particularly the large 
central bodies, are important elements in the City's commercial 
and industrial life. There are a number of such organizations 
and they exert a tremendous influence. Though they have their 
respective spheres, they are bound by ties of business and social 
relationship. By cohesive action and unity of purpose they 
have time and again made their influence felt to the mutual 
benefit of the City and the thousands who maintain business 
relations with it. Through them the business interests of Balti- 
more operate upon an organized and systematized basis. The 
good effect is not merely local, for Baltimore is the great com- 
mercial and industrial headquarters of thousands of miles of 
territory. 

Organization and combined force have not only helped those 
who trade in Baltimore, but are largely responsible for placing 
the City in the front rank of the great commercial centers of 
the country. 

The usefulness of these associations is not confined to the 
avenues of trade. They have been aggressively active in the 
many successful projects for the proper civic development of 
Baltimore, and are vital forces in the City's welfare,

W^'^k,^ CCORDING to the United States Census of 
1910 there were, at that time, within the City 
limits of Baltimore (which is 31-3 square miles 
in area) 2502 manufacturing establishments, 
comprising 123 specific industries, employing 9369 salaried 
employees and 7 1 ,444 wage-earners, who were paid annually 
$41,742,000. The annual value of their output was $186,- 
978,000. The capital represented by these enterprises 
amounted to $164,437,000, not including the value of rented 
buildings. A reliable compilation during 1910 shows that 
the Baltimore industrial district (that area contiguous to and 
including the City of Baltimore) produced manufactured prod- 
ucts to the value of $265,000,000 yearly. A later compila- 
tion made in 1914 shows that the manufactured products of 
this district had increased in value to $300,000,000. This 
makes Baltimore one of the foremost mdustnal centers of the 
United States.

Baltimore ranks first among the cities of the United States in 
the canning and preserving industry, which employs thousands 
of workers. Its annual product is valued at millions of dollars. 

MANUFACTURE OF CLOTHING 
In the manufacture of clothing Baltimore occupies a leading 
position. United States Census of 1910 shows that the value 
of men's and women's clothing (including shirts, overalls, etc.) 
amounts annually to $41,000,000. These industries employ 
24,000 persons. Most of this clothing is of the higher grades. 
There are 393 establishments in Baltimore, some of them the 
largest in the world. 

SHIPS MOST FERTILIZER 

More fertilizer is shipped from Baltimore than from the com- 
bined manufacturing plants of any other State. The value of 
fertilizer produced in Baltimore annually is $16,000,000. 

THE GREAT STRAW HAT INDUSTRY 

The straw hat mdustry is represented by establishments em- 
ploying thousands of hands, producing millions of dollars' 
worth of goods yearly. 

COPPER 

The copper smelting and refining works and coppersmithing 
in Baltimore represent for plants an investment of $20,000,- 
000. Baltimore has the largest copper refining plant in 
America. 

C opper exported from Baltimore during the year ending 
October 31, 1913, amounted to 134,000 tons.

ELECTRIC POWER FROM THE SUSQUEHANNA 

i^i^ig^^HERE has been developed for Baltimore a 
Irv^ftQ^ tremendous source of electric energy. Across 
W(f©B^^^ the Susquehanna River, at McCall Ferry, is the 
^§ ^=^ ::^ third longest dam in the world, exceeded only 
by the dams at Keokuk, Iowa, on the Mississippi River, and at 
Assouan, on the Nile. Behind this barrier, which is half a 
mile long, 55 feet high and 65 feet thick, the Susquehanna 
River forms a lake eight miles in length. 

Their foundations resting on the bed rock of the river, the 
power-house and dam contain 300,000 cubic yards of con- 
crete. The power-house provides space for ten units, with a 
total maximum capacity of 1 35,000 horse-power. 

From McCall Ferry, in a straight line, the steel towers and 
the aluminum cables of the transmission line stretch to Balti- 
more, 40 miles away, where the harnessed river drives the 
wheels of the City's industries and lights the homes and streets. 

Independent steam generating stations, storage batteries and 
an unexcelled distribution system assure adequate, efficient, 
never-failing service. Baltimore offers the manufacturer cheap 
electric power in abundance. The rates for electric power in 
Baltimore are the lowest on the Atlantic Seaboard. 

The harnessed river furnishes the power necessary to propel 
the street cars of the extensive transit system of Baltimore and 
its suburbs. Power from the Susquehanna moves the trains in 
the Belt Line Tunnel of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, 
beneath the City of Baltimore, one of the earliest electrically- 
operated tunnels in the world. The entire power requirements 
of the Maryland Electric Railways Company, which operates 
the converted steam road connecting Baltimore with Annapolis, 
come from the same source. 

Abundant power at low rates, with an efficient and compre- 
hensive service, gives Baltimore a tremendous advantage, which 
no manufacturer can afford to overlook.

NO LABOR TROUBLES 

Baltimore has practically no labor troubles. After the 
great fire, the City was rebuilt without one strike. Owing to 
conditions that obtain in no other large community, the capitalist 
and laborer maintain a status which enables them to operate to 
their mutual interest, and to the benefit of the whole industrial 
situation. 

Baltimore seems totally unaffected by those periodic gusts of 
labor agitation that sweep over one section of the country or 
another, unsettling conditions, causing industrial distress and 
financial loss. 

The City is exceptionally fortunate in this respect, primarily 
because of natural conditions. The working class is enabled to 
live well. The abundance of seasonable foodstuffs at reason- 
able prices, cheap rents, the opportunity to buy homes on the 
easiest terms are elements which contribute to the contented 
condition of the laboring man. In Baltimore he gets the most 
out of life for himself and his family. The average laborer 
owns his home. Tenements are practically unknown. Then 
there is plenty of work and plenty of workmen. 

Industrial tranquillity lasts the year round.

BALTIMORE'S FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS 

Few cities enjoy the enviable reputation of Baltimore for 
sound financial methods, or have a larger number of success- 
fully conducted banks and trust companies. Baltimore is noted 
for its excellent banking facilities. 

There has not been a bank failure in Baltimore for many 
years, and the conflagration of 1904, which caused a loss esti- 
mated at $125,000,000, resulted in no embarrassment to the 
City's financial organizations, except that arising from the 
destruction of buildings. 

There is ample capital in Baltimore for legitimate enter- 
prises. It is not a City given to the encouragement of "wildcat" 
schemes, but sound projects can find substantial backing. 

BONDING 

The first bonding or surety company was organized in Bal- 
timore. This City occupies a commanding position in this 
branch of finance. 

Millions of dollars are invested here in bonding enterprises. 
The assets of numerous companies total millions. They have 
branches practically all over the world ; in fact, Baltimore is 
the bonding headquarters of the world. 

INDUSTRIAL BUILDINGS 

Baltimore has a series of modern "Industrial" or "Beehive" 
buildings, where heat, light, power and space in proportion to 
the large or small needs of any and all kinds of industries can 
be had on terms and conditions attractive even to infant enter- 
prises. This enables enterprises to be started without the usual 
capital outlay required for investment in land and building. It 
offers to local industries and to those outside the City, desiring 
to establish operations here, every essential factory requirement 
that can be obtained by the most successful manufacturers.

COMMERCE AND TRANSPORTATION 




A Splendid Harbor; Grain rapidly handled; low Freight Rales; 
Magnificent Piers; Steamship Lines; Great Railroads, with termi- 
nals at deep water, centre in Baltimore; Colossal Municipal Piers; 
Great Jobbing Trade; Plants and Machinery Exempt from Taxa- 
tion, etc. 

^' reason of its geographical location, the Cit\', 
from the verj- first days of the "iron horse," be- 
came a railroad center. It has, also, always been 
one of the important seaports of the country. 
That Baltimore lived and thrived may be attributed to its 
natural maritime advantages. It early became a distributing 
point for merchandise that came over all seas and from all 
lands. It sent, and still sends, back ships burdened with 
products of every section of this country. 

Long before steam became the propelling force of commerce, 
Baltimore's supremacy was assured. The Baltimore clipper 
was famous ; it was sailing every sea and was seen in ever\- port. 
The City has a largely-developed trade in every respect, 
particularly through the South. Being of the South, this seems 
natural, but Baltimore is not dependent upon sentiment alone. 
As the metropolis of the South, Baltimore is the natural 
source of supply of this section, and its trade throughout the 
vast country is large and ever-increasing. Nor is Baltimore's 
sphere of commercial influence confined to the great region 
south of the Mason and Dixon Line. Its merchants are invad- 
ing the North. They have captured a good percentage of 
trade of Pennsylvania and New "\'ork State, and are success- 
fully operating in the Ohio \ 'alley. 

As a jobbing center Baltimore ranks among the foremost 
cities of the United States. Its jobbing trade, comprising prin- 
cipally dry goods, groceries, food products, drugs and tobacco, 
represent annually $230,000,000, which, with its commission 
business of $100,000,000, brings the total to $330,000,000.

THE HARBOR OF BALTIMORE 

Baltimore has a splendid harbor. The channel leading from 
Baltimore is 35 feet deep and 600 feet wide, and there is a 
project under way to deepen it to 40 feet and to make it 
1 000 feet wide. 

Baltimore is on the Patapsco River, a tributary of Chesa- 
peake Bay, and is about 1 50 nautical miles from the Atlantic 
Ocean as vessels travel. The harbor may be said to begin 
where the Patapsco and the bay meet, about 1 4 miles from 
the center of the City. 

There are 1 8 miles of dockage and waterfront within the 
contracted City limits, and many times that area in the im- 
mediate environs. 

Baltimore harbor, even within the City limits proper, can 
accommodate the largest vessels. Such, for instance, as liners 
of 20,000 tons displacement or more enter and leave Balti- 
more harbor. Baltimore has a busy waterfront. It is very 
picturesque and is a shelter for all manner of craft, from the 
ponderous Atlantic liner to the Chesapeake Bay oyster pungy. 




TMIjr^ B-ALTIMOR^E BOOK 

GRAIN RAPIDLY HANDLED 

Baltimore has long been justly famous for handhng quanti- 
ties of export grain and has largely contributed to the nation's 
wealth through these facilities. Railroads had the foresight 
to build the present terminal elevators, which have a capacity 
of 5,000,000 bushels, and to properly equip them with dryers 
to give "out of condition" grain deserved attention. They also 
established great terminal yards with facilities for rapid and 
safe unloading of cars. The elevators can place 2,000,000 
bushels of grain aboard vessels in a day, and this capacity will 
soon be increased. Vessels are loaded while in deep water 
alongside the elevators, avoiding the use of lighters and floating 
elevators. The railroads have in every other way supported 
the efforts of grain merchants, who, for years, have labored 
to make this a favored market for domestic and export grain. 

Baltimore Chamber of Commerce weighing and inspection 
departments are models of their kind, giving confidence and 
security at home and abroad. 

Much Canadian grain comes to Baltimore for export and is 
handled so satisfactorily that tonnage is constantly increasing. 

On grain for export from the Great Lakes there is a differ- 
ence of three-tenths of a cent per bushel in Baltimore's favor, 
compared with New York and Boston. Nine-tenths is the 
present difference in Baltimore's favor on grain from the West, 
arriving all rail.

great advantage enjoyed by Baltimore, because of 
its geographical location. These were compiled from

SPLENDID RAILROAD TERMINAL FACILITIES 

Wiji^i^^^^^ ALTIMORE is the local and reshipping market 
J^lMjj^^^^i for the fish, oyster and crab supplies of the fertile 
l//^iC^)W)] waters of the Chesapeake Bay and tributary rivers 
Wi^^^ ^^S'- ^^'^ streams. 

The railroads, Baltimore and Ohio, Pennsylvania and West- 
ern Maryland, have carfloats, large docks with warehouses, 
cranes and facilities for receiving, storing and shipping all kinds 
of raw material and manufactured articles. Lighterage com- 
panies have a multiplicity of tugs, scows and lighters, expediting 
commerce of the port. 

The Baltimore and Ohio system has domestic and export 
elevators, hay sheds, terminals and storage warehouses, coal 
piers, and maintains general offices in Baltimore. The Balti- 
more and Ohio freight yards are extensive and reach all por- 
tions of the City. About 1 0,000 employees are located in 
Baltimore. 

The Pennsylvania Railroad system has division offices in 
Baltimore and extensive terminals. The company's export and 
domestic elevators, hay sheds and many terminal and storage 
warehouses are of the usual high type, and a new passenger 
station facilitates travel. 

The Western Maryland Railway, like the other railroads 
above named, has freight terminals in the business district and 
storage warehouses at convenient locations. In addition, docks 
and warehouses on the waterfront give it opportunities for 
prompt handhng of export, import and domestic shipments. 

The co-operation between the Western Maryland and New 
York Central lines through the extension from Cumberland to 
Connellsville, and connection with the Pittsburgh and Lake 
Erie Railroad, greatly benefits Baltimore, since new tonnage is '

conditions. 

The Maryland and Pennsylvania Railroad, operating be- 
tween Baltimore and York, Pa. (77 miles), has a large dairy 
and slate, as well as suburban passenger, busmess. 

The Canton Railroad is a terminal railroad of Baltimore 
offering connecting line switching service on advantageous terms 
to industries located on the extensive waterfront property of the 
Canton Company.

COAL AND COKE 

The position Baltimore occupies in its ability to move, by 
rail and water, bituminous coal from the enormous deposits 
in Maryland and West Virginia gives the City a commanding 
position in the soft coal trade. There are 5,000,000 tons of 
coal annually exported from Baltimore. 

Baltimore consumes 1 ,000,000 tons a year. 

The United States Collier Neptune recently took on at one 
of the coal piers 15,000 tons in one day. 

The short haul on coke from the ovens to Baltimore and 
nearness of limestone deposits make this City an ideal place for

STEAMSHIP LINES 

Baltimore, being one of the great ports of the Atlantic 
Coast, is in constant commercial intercourse with all parts of 
the world. There is a score or more lines of steamships en- 
gaged regularly in foreign trade, and they are represented by 
a multiplicity of vessels. 

Foreign steamship lines having regular sailings from Balti- 
more are: 

Johnston Line, Baltimore to Liverpool. 

North German Lloyd, Baltimore to Bremen. 

Holland-America Line, Baltimore to Rotterdam. 

Lord Line, Baltimore to Belfast, Cardiff and Dublin. 

Atlantic Transport Line, Baltimore to Havre and London. 

Hamburg-American Line, Baltimore to Hamburg. 

United Fruit Co. Line, Baltimore to Port Antonio, Jamaica. 

Red Star Line, Baltimore to Antwerp. 

Furness Line, Baltimore to Leith. 

Creole Line, Baltimore to Italy. 

English-American Line, Baltimore to Huelva, Spain. 

Scandinavian-America Line, Baltimore to Copenhagen. 

United Fruit Company, Baltimore to Santo Domingo. 

Atlantic Fruit Company, Baltimore to Jamaica. 

Atlantic Fruit Company, Baltimore to Cuban ports. 

Munson Line, Baltimore to Havana and Colon. 

Earn Line, Baltimore to the West Indies. 

Lanasa & Goffe Importing and Steamship Company, Balti- 
more to Port Antonio, Jamaica, and Cuban ports. 

Aside from the above, there are hundreds of steamships of 
the "tramp" or transient class, which are constantly arriving or 
leaving port; also that rapidly vanishing class of vessels, the 
"square riggers."

TM\~ BALIIMORLer BOOK 



Steamships which regularly ply between Baltimore and 
Atlantic Coast ports are fitted for first-class passenger service 
as well as freight. Commodious steamers leave daily, going 
north and south, carrying hundreds of passengers and tons of 
freight. 

It is estimated that I 3,000 craft of all character sail be- 
tween Baltimore and points on Chesapeake Bay and its tribu- 
taries. These vessels traverse all navigable waters of Mary- 
land and Virginia, touching at the larger cities and numerous 
obscure landings. Bay steamers, as a rule, are large and 
modern, having excellent passenger accommodations. The 
oyster pungy, other small sailing craft and a multitude of 
power boats carry much of Baltimore's Chesapeake Bay com- 
merce.

LIVING CONDITIONS 

Baltimore a Cily of Owned Homes; Reasonable Food Prices; Cheap 
Rents and Fine Markets; Excellent Street Car Service; Excep- 
tionally Good Climate; Oysters, Crabs and all Edibles in Abund- 
ance; Baltimore offers a Great Opportunity to "Live Well." 

^^i T has been stated that Bahimore is a City of 
homes. It is more than this. Baltimore is a City 
of OWNED homes. Houses of any class maybe 
^3 purchased upon terms that place OWNERSHIP 
within reach of the most humble wage-earner. 

The report of the British Board of Trade, which made an 
exhaustive inquiry into the cost of living in American cities, 
lends force to this statement. It says: 

"Houre ownership among the working classes of Bahimore 
has made great progress, and among American cities Baltimore 
claims to take a leading place in this respect. 

"In 1900, 20.5 per cent, of all private dwellings in the 
City were owned unencumbered by their occupants; 7.4 per 
cent, were owned, but encumbered, while 72.1 per cent, were 
hired. The number of building loan societies is very large, 
some 200 having meeting places in the City. 

"The future owner (purchaser) must, as a rule, provide 
about one-third of the proposed cost of the dwelling, and the 
society advances the balance and issues shares to the same 
amounts, upon which interest of 6 per cent, is charged until 
they are paid up; but in the meantime the borrower is entitled 
to dividends upon these shares. 

"The single family dwellings enjoy an absolute predomi- 
nance in Baltimore," says the report.

"In 1900 the percentage of families in dwelling-houses occu- 
pied by one family was 72.6, while the percentage in dwelling- 
houses occupied by two families was 20, and the percentage in 
dwelling-houses occupied by three of more families v/as 7.4." 

This same report goes on and describes Baltimore as a "City 
of practically no tenements," as the tenement evil is understood 
in connection with other cities, and is authority for the state- 
ment, which is a well-known and established fact, that a house 
in Baltimore can be rented for about one-half a similar house 
in a like neighborhood can be rented for in New York. 

Baltimoreans, at least, know how to live. Of the 1 15,243 
private dwellings in the City, about 50 per cent, are two stories 
in height, modern in every detail, and are usually very attrac- 
tive. Many of the latest styles are "detached," have orna- 
mental bay windows, and each, by law, must be provided with 
a bathtub and the best sanitary appliances. 

A real home in Baltimore is within reach of all. And this 
home is on a good street, in a respectable neighborhood. Balti- 
moreans are not stowed away in the uppermost stories of un- 
healthy, insanitary tenement houses, with dubious and doubtful 
associates under the same roof, and in an atmosphere of social, 
physical and moral impurity. 

Baltimore has many stately mansions amid the environment 
of wealth and dignity, which are very impressive, but the thou- 
sands of small dwellings, sheltering thousands of contented 
families, each dweller in his or her own "castle," offer a 
splendid object-lesson. 

The excellent system of street car lines enables a person to 
reach any part of Baltimore for a 5 -cent fare, which also in- 
cludes one free transfer. This is a great boon to the wage- 
earner who desires to live in the open, away from the office, 
factory and workshop.

BALTIMORE MARKETS

BALTIMORE MARKETS 

The habit of "going to market" is so fixed a custom, and so 
generally practiced as a part of the domestic routine by the 
Baltimore housekeeper, that markets are supported and flourish 
as they do nowhere else. Moreover, the markets, on market 
days, are one of the sights of the City. Few strangers come to 
Baltimore who do not join the picturesque throng at one of 
these centers. To see these markets in "full blast" is indeed in- 
teresting. Not only the markets themselves, but all approaches 
for squares take on the market environment. Along the streets 
are hundreds of wagons, converted into stalls, and scores of 
improvised shops line the curb; the flower girl, the ubiquitous 
faker, the country folk, the thrifty housewife, making her dis- 
criminating purchases, is a spectacle well worth witnessing. 

Lexington Market is the most noted and is, possibly, without 
a serious rival in the country. It is very central, being con- 
tiguous to, in fact within, the retail shopping district. It is 
three squares long, but the market's "sphere of influence" ex- 
tends for squares in all directions. 

All markets are owned and under the control of the Mu- 
nicipality. 

Centre Market, built after the fire of February, 1 904, on the 
site of Marsh Market, which was destroyed, is a splendid mod- 
ern structure. It cost $500,650 and extends from Baltimore to 
Pratt street, three blocks. There are two great halls over the 
northern (Baltimore street) end, which are used by the night 
classes of the Maryland Institute. Twelve hundred pupils may 
be comfortably accommodated here. There is also another large 
hall above the produce section, which will seat 2500 persons. 
The wholesale and retail fish market, connected with the Centre, 
has been pronounced the most complete in the world. 

The Baltimore markets are: Belair, Canton, Centre, Cross 
Street, Fells Point, Hanover, Hollins, Lafayette, Lexington, 
Northeast, Richmond.

A NOTED FOOD SUPPLY CENTER 

i:^^i|jiiiii^j^.: ALTIMORE'S markets are a success because 
ilifl™^^^' °^ ^^^ great variety and character of the food- 
//^^q)B )) stuff s on sale. The investigators for the British 
|l^^^;;2i:^:; Board of Trade, who recently made a study of 
hving conditions in American cities, were struck by this ad- 
vantage, and in their report said: 

"Baltimore is a noted food supply center — -fruits, vegetables, 
dairy products, poultry and meat are produced in the fertile 
districts of the State of Maryland, and the shores of the Chesa- 
peake are especially favorable for those branches of agriculture. 
The City is remarkable among the large cities of the United 
States for the abundance and varied character of its retail 
markets. In the principal districts of the City are covered 
markets, where all kinds of meat, vegetables, fruit, butter and 
eggs are on sale." 

The report also refers to the extensive patronage enjoyed 
by the markets, and the great number of butcher stalls receive 
particular mention. 

Baltimore is smgularly fortunate as to food supply, as the 
British report says. Things regarded as luxuries elsewhere are 
here matters of every-day commonplace diet. The City being 
situated within two hours' ride of the mountains, and at the very 
door of a great truckmg region (the adjacent counties of Mary- 
land), has a wonderful advantage. The great Chesapeake Bay 
and the Patapsco River yield up an enormous supply of crabs, 
oysters and fish. Several lines of steamers bring tropical fruits in 
abundance. Maryland is the home of the terrapin and the 
canvas-back, and Baltimore is the gastronomic center, where 
these delicacies are prepared and where they are consumed in 
large quantities. 

Baltimore offers the best of foodstuffs in abundance ; its 
markets bulge with the products of the season; reasonable prices 
make it possible for those of limited income to enjoy the benefits 
of these exceptional advantages, facts that contribute to Balti- 
more's reputation as an exceptionally desirable place of residence.

■\^ VERY unique situation is presented in connection 
with the enumeration of the population of BaUi- 
more. According to the United States Census 
Report for 1910, its population within the City 
limits was then 558,485; while its population, including those 
persons who reside just beyond the City limits, was 647,884. 

This condition was of sufficient import to call from Director 
Durand of the Census a special report (August, 1911). In 
this he referred to the distinction to be made in favor of Balti- 
more when comparing the population of cities. The numerical 
peculiarity concerning Baltimore's population arises from the 
fact that its corporate limits have not been extended corre- 
spondingly as the City's inhabitants have multiplied. 

The census reports show that Baltimore has actually grown 
apace, and is the most densely populated City m the country, 
but that thousands of Baltimoreans who live "just over the line" 
are not listed as residents. At the same time they are not 
divided from the corporate limits by squares of unimproved lots, 
but live on well-paved streets, in "built-up " sections which, in 
some instances, extend a mile beyond the present limits. 

Thus, according to the census of 1910, about 90,000 per- 
sons (since greatly increased in numbers) outside the technical 
bounds are so essentially a part of Baltimore in their business 
and social relations that they should be included when a com- 
parison of cities is made. 

Baltimore has 3 I 73 square miles within its contracted limits, 
and its population within these bounds is, according to the 
census, 558,485. St. Louis, with 61 V< square miles, twice 
the area of Baltimore, has a population of 687,029. 

St. Louis ranks fourth, but Baltimore would no doubt arise 
to dispute that claim if its area were doubled,

BALTIMORE AN EDUCATIONAL CENTER 

Baltimore, as a center of learning, is proud of one of the 
leading institutions of the world — the Johns Hopkins Univer- 
sity. This is the foremost institution in the United States de- 
voted to research work. 

The great Johns Hopkins Hospital, with its Medical School 
and other educational features, is unequaled by any similar 
organization. It, too, is world famous. 

The Goucher College of Baltimore, formerly the Woman's 
College, has a fixed place among the advanced educational 
institutions of the country. 

The City also boasts of the Peabody Institute, the Mary- 
land Institute of Art and Design, the Walters Art Gallery, 
which is far-famed; the Enoch Pratt Free Library, with its 
multiplicity of branches; the Maryland University, with its 
various departments of learning, and a score of other institu- 
tions devoted to culture and intellectual pursuits. Aside from 
these, there are the Baltimore public schools, with their several 
colleges. These are referred to at length elsewhere. 

There are many medical colleges in Baltimore, as well as 
others devoted to law. The City, in fact, may be aptly de- 
scribed as a "College Town. " Thousands of students, repre- 
senting not only this but almost every country of the civilized 
world, have received and are receiving their education in Balti- 
more, which occupies a commanding position in the arts, sciences 
and culture generally. 

For the study of painting, music and sculpture, Baltimore 
offers unexcelled opportunities, and large numbers of pupils 
from various sections are taking advantage of these. 

The Baltimore College of Dental Surgery is the oldest 
college of this kind in the world.

BALTIMORE'S EXCELLENT CLIMATE 

Baltimore has an excellent climate. The City is so situated 
that it does not experience the extremes of weather. It is free 
from the rigors of the North and yet it is not inflicted with the 
continued enervating heat of the South. The changing seasons 
are one of the delights of the locality. There is no monotony ; 
no prolonged hot, dry spell to face in summer, and no long, 
dreary, severe winter, with its accompanying hardships. The 
winters are short, being relieved by beautiful spring and fall 
conditions. The rainfall is well distributed throughout the 
year and destructive storms are practically unknown. 

Baltimore is, likewise, free from all other elemental disturb- 
ances, which, in some sections, are a source of constant unrest, 
if not actual peril. 



AMPLE HOTEL ACCOMMODATIONS 

Baltimore has splendid hotels. In this respect it is abreast 
of any city of the country of its size, and far ahead of the 
majority. 

Just at present it is better equipped than ever, owing to the 
recent establishment of several large hotels. These are great 
institutions, designed on a large scale, built on a large scale, 
and operated in accordance with advanced ideas and methods. 

There are scores of hotels, so the visitor will have no diffi- 
culty finding accommodations at reasonable rates. 

Baltimore as a "Convention City" has entertained thousands 
of visitors without inconvenience to guests, and it is now better 
prepared than ever to assume this agreeable responsibility.

Miles of waterfront afford Baltimoreans unlimited oppor- 
tunities for aquatic sports. Yachting, boating, crabbing, fishing 
are pastimes within reach of the most humble. 

Any man may have his little power or sail boat, which at 
once extends his suzerainty, not only over the Patapsco River, 
but the great Chesapeake Bay. Here he may disport himself 
at will. Baltimore offers a great opportunity to the man with 
a boat. A race on the Patapsco, between the trained crews 
of rival clubs, is a sight never to be forgotten. 

The pleasure seeker, who disdams the lure of salt water and 
the thrills of the nibble, has a splendid collection of theatres, 
including grand opera, for Baltimore boasts of first-class, whole- 
some amusement features, where the cream of the passing show 
may be seen. The City's theatres are all modern and com- 
modious, and public taste demands and receives the best that 
the stage has to offer.

BALTIMORE HISTORY 
1608-1913 

To begin at the very beginning of direct historical informa- 
tion concerning Baltimore, one must go back to the year 1 608. 

June 2nd, 1 608, Capt. John Smith, whose life is reputed to 
have been saved by Pocahontas, having settled Jamestown, 
started from the vicinity of Cape Henry, on the first of his 
two famous explorations of the Chesapeake Bay. Durmg this 
expedition, which lasted nineteen days, he visited every inlet 
on both sides of the Bay, from the Capes to the Patapsco 
River (named by Smith, Bolus), sailed up that stream, and 
from him we get the first information concerning the region, 
now Baltimore. Smith and his followers were, therefore, the 
first white men to set eyes on the present site of the City. There 
is no question about Smith's visit to this locality. He prepared 
an excellent map of the Chesapeake and its tributaries. The 
Patapsco River, then, of course, unnamed, he called "Bolus," 
because of the red clay resembling "bole armoniack" along its 
banks. The red clay, or "bole," was a covering for deposits 
of iron ore, afterward discovered and mined. The first of 
these mines was owned and worked by John Moale, at Moale's 
Point, along Spring Gardens. Smith's map indicates quite an 
extensive knowledge of the topography of this section. He went 
up the "Bolus" for a considerable distance. On his voyage 
he had fourteen companions and used a barge, of between 
two and three tons, propelled by sail and oar. He had excit- 
ing and interesting experiences with Indians. 

Following Captain Smith's explorations in this vicinity, there 
is a lapse of years before the thread of the narrative can be 
taken up by the historian. 

In the absence of proof to the contrary it must be assumed 
that Indians roamed over the site of Baltimore at will, or at

least without interference from white men; for it was not until 
1661 that history records the second step in the advance of 
civilization. 

In 1 66 1 the first surveys were made, pursuant to land 
grants, and henceforth this section became the permanent habi- 
tation of white men. Tract after tract was taken up by settlers, 
and in 1 706 Locust Point, then "Whetstone Point," was made 
a port of entry. 

INTERESTING EVENTS IN HISTORY OF BALTIMORE 
GIVEN CHRONOLOGICALLY 

Captain John Smith sails from lower Chesapeake on the first of his 
explorations of Chesapeake Bay. He and his followers were the 
first white men to see the locality, now City of Baltimore, 2 June, 1608 

Charles Gorsuch, a member of the Society of Friends, patents 50 
acres at Whetstone Point (Locust Point). Whether Gorsuch 
actually resided on the Point is not known 24 Feb., 1661 

David Jones, reputed to be the first actual settler, "took up" and had 
surveyed 380 acres of Und along the eastern bank of a stream, 
now Jones Falls, the Falls inheriting its name from the original 
resident. Jones built a house in the vicinity of what is today 
Front street, near the stream 15 June, 1661 

Caecilius Calvert, second Lord Ballimore, becomes Governor of Mary- 
land under Charter from Charles I of England; from Caecilius 

(Lord Baltimore) this Cily derives its name 1662 

Note: — The original grant of ihe territory called Mary- 
land was obtained by Sir George Calvert, first of the Barons 
of Baltimore, in 1632. Sir George died before the Charter 
was actually issued, and the grant devolved upon his son 
Caecilius, who became the real founder of Maryland, al- 
though he never visited the Colony. Caecilius, however, sent 
out settlers under his younger brother Leonard. 

Alexander Mounteney "takes up" two hundred acres of land on each 
side of Harford Run, a stream since covered, and now Central 
avenue 1 663 

John Howard patents a tract, which includes a large part of South 
Baltimore, between the Middle and Northwest branches of the
